I’m currently not working bec I have a house full of kids and it got to be too much when I had my last baby. I am looking for ideas to make 300$ a week for a specific expense. Not sure if this is realistic when I have a baby at home and will need to do something remote/from home. Not going to babysit if anyone was going to suggest that..

I worked in special ed but to be honest I’m also extremely burnt out of that field. I don’t think I can work with kids right now.

How is your baby in the car?
If good maybe you can drive some kids to school and back
don't know your location some places always need.

Budget 2 hours for a cleaning lady to come in after you.

Yup, this. Consider it a business expense

I’m looking for something like this too but even babysitting jobs aren’t coming up.
I’m ready to do any job I can do without sending my baby out. This baby has medical needs and cannot go to a babysitter.
I used to do product photography but the demand is very low the last few years.

when my babies were little I made a lot more than that at home as a sales director. Part time hobby level sales can do $300 a week without sending out your baby. Direct sales or FBA even though FBA has a large learning curve. People are scared of sales but it's fun and flexible.

Mommy and me exercise class.
$15 per mom + baby to join.
3x per week for 45 mins. Each class should have 6-8 people.

Become a college professor. You're probably a lot more qualified than some of the idiots teaching now.

It's great you want to vent about this issue, but you're not helping the OP by bringing this up

You can. It's very hard to get jobs but there are college professionals who work virtually asynchronous classes. It's a lot of work, but it's flexible. And it's less work after your first course.

But no tips on getting a job. It's hard.
